"We had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant and we reside in San Antonio TX and it was DELICIOUS! Started with an Old Fashion Cocktail. We had the grilled Alaskan Halibut with sautés spinach and rice. The portion was plentiful as we shared between my husband and I. Prior to the dinner plate we ordered the vegetable egg rolls with a chili sauce as an appetizer and they were scrumptious followed by a Cesar salad. The atmosphere with our outdoor seating was delightful and so enjoyable. The evening ended with dual piano playing and singing which the player had a fantastic voice! This is a must try and ask for Dillon our server who will take great care of you! Cheers!"
